King: Days 1 & 2

Well, day one at King was fun and eventful. Team ACP launched later in the day. Two of us made it to Elbow Canyon, one made it to the mouth of Rams Horn Canyon and two of us decided to give the bailout LZ a go. You decide who did what and who flew where.

I had a hang-gliding first where my harness zipper got jammed and would not unzip. I was wearing my thin pants with the zip-off legs and th

e material got caught in the zipper around my upper thigh. Fortunately, the Z5 harness comes with an emergency handle to separate the velcro panel that the zipper is attached from the harness boot. This, I learned, requires both hands and a lot of leverage, but can be done when in panic mode to release my landing gear (legs). All was good and I enjoyed day one of King from the bailout LZ as can be the case at King. Mr. Foster joined me in the bailout for the autograph signing session with all our fans.
